When oil spill is occurring, it will harm the river water and even normal life of nearby residents. As such, the challenges faced in responding to oil spill of inland river water crossing pipeline merit wider discussion. The Yellow River is a very important river in China and is a high risk area for oil spill due to the leakage of crude oil in across pipeline. Based on the hydrodynamic model, 12 kinds of oil spill scenarios are simulated by MIKE21 OilSpill module, and the influence of wind, water and leakage position on the oil spill drift and diffusion pattern is analyzed. According to the simulation results and the river’s own characteristics, nine Key Sections of Emergency Disposal (KSED) in high-risk waters are obtained, and effective emergency response time of different critical sections which are given to provide technical support for oil spill emergency preparedness work. Results show that the influence of different water phases and leakage location on spill velocity is relatively large. The diffusion velocity of oil spill in flood season is much higher than that in dry season. When leakage point is in the middle position, oil spill velocity is the fastest, followed by the south bank and the North bank. The influence of wind period on the diffusion rate of oil spill is relatively weak, which has a certain effect on the shape of oil spill contaminated zone. When strong wind, flood season and middle position leakage occur, oil spill diffuses fastest with water flow drift, and oil spill emergency disposal is most difficult. According to the need of oil spill emergency preparedness, the easily accessible sluice and bridge structures are selected as the KSED treatment in the length of the river reach studied. The time to reach the KSED of the spillway front is calculated by simulation. Because of the accuracy of the simulation results of this model on key sections of emergency disposal and effective emergency disposal time, Lanzhou Petrochemical Company successfully handled a large-scale oil spill practice. These successful oil spill simulation technology and practice cases about responding to oil spill prove its feasibility. The accuracy of KSED and effective emergency disposal time will be able to provide a new promising responding method to control oil spill pollution.","PeriodicalId":425264,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Wed, April 24, 2019","volume":"203 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114018081","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It becomes commitment to ensure the safe workplace and behavior of its personnel as part of its culture. Many programs created to build behavior of personnel and familiarize company rules, law, and habit on taking consideration during work and daily life. In Eni Indonesia, the program developed by using the philosophy of ‘5 senses to know safety’ which are hear, see, speak, feel, and think, as a concept of participation and interaction of personnel.\u0000 This paper will describe the new approach on how company developing the culture by strengthening the value of participation and interaction as part of the program. The concept is created to achieve good safety behavior of the worker (both operative site and office) as part of the journey to operational excellence. Review on literatures starts defining the right approach on how human perspective could be driven to meet company expectation on safety. It will become basis to create the program where worker may participate and take the value of the program as part of their habitual behavior.\u0000 In the concept of building behavior, there are several elements to be established by the company. Strong basis on safe design (engineering approach), management system, and human performance which becomes framework on how safety culture is managed. As part of the journey to operation excellence, human behavior is one of the important aspects where it becomes common causal of the accident during work. Observation on several sample of worker at office and operative-site, indicates that different perception of people on seeing the safety matters lead to the different participation level on safety programs.\u0000 Participation and interaction becomes one of the key that will bring worker perception on valuing safety as part of their core and changing paradigm on ‘do because I must do’ to ‘do because I need to do’. Company develop program where the positive approach is used. It is in form of HSE League where all elements of the company must participate as part of their performance objectives. The competition is held to gain personnel feelings by doing and create new sense of ownership on safety. It results the increase of participation of personnel before and after the program.

Major accidents in the oil and gas installation pose a significant risk and most operators opt to underwrite their assets to mitigate their financial exposure. This paper presents the Insurance Surveyor playbook on asset risk rating. Insurance Surveyors evaluate asset risks based on six categorizes. The risk rating categorizes are hierarchal and also represent various phases in the asset life cycle, that include inherent features, asset management, alarms/leak detection systems and firefighting equipment. The Insurance surveyor inductively and deductively assess risk development and the operator's risk management, this involves running down the Management System to ensure a systematic assessment of risk is conducted and then evaluating the Operator's response to performance, in particular, response to incidents. The Insurance surveyor also assess the Operator's conformance to its procedures and ultimately its own Policies. In essence slicing and dicing the management system to identify the level of conformance in par with the operating risks and exposure to loss.\u0000 A case study is described where the Operator risk rating was improved from \"poor\" in the aftermath of major incident to \"above average\" within a few years. The underlining importance of this paper is to exploit the Insurance Surveyor method to safeguard life, risks that endanger welfare and cause harm to the environment. The Insurance Surveyor methodology is tenacious and fierce against thermal, toxic and pressure effects and the management systems that either inhibit/suppress or facilitate/escalate their occurrence. The Insurance Surveyor playbook is what every line supervisor should follow to ensure the safety the plants and the hope is to achieve buy-in and commitment to promote and exploit lean risk management systems.","PeriodicalId":425264,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Wed, April 24, 2019","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134428790","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Adaptation is a complex systemic process of establishing the mutual correspondence of a person with the environment, which is carried out due to a certain activity of an individual and its mobilization. In addition to various climatic factors, a group isolation factor is similar for workers in the south and north of the Russian Federation during shift work organization. In this connection, an important role in the effectiveness of personnel in these conditions is the presence of successful sociopsychological adaptation. The purpose of this study is to identify the characteristics of the sociopsychological adaptability of oil and gas workers in shift labor organization in the north and south of the Russian Federation. To achieve this goal and objectives, a study was conducted in which 82 employees took part using the shift organization of labor in the south of the Russian Federation.

Thus, the integration of HSSE elements is fundamental towards a comprehensive approach to managing social risks. This paper discusses the process of two internal assessment tools, the Social Risk Assessment (SRA) and Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD) and how these have integrated HSSE elements. Both assessment tools have been used for projects to meet project financing requirements. The assessment allows social risks with elements of HSSE identified, thus mitigation can be introduced to reduce risk to the business. In carrying out both assessments, it is crucial to have a team with the necessary knowledge and skills that encompasses HSSE and Social Performance.
